September Goals (and August Check In)

Recap on August goals...finish up the 100 happy days challenge and do the one second a day appThis was so much fun. If you follow my Instagram, this is why I got a little heavy on the video!

Continue with the run streak.I'm up to 103 days! As I said last month, gonna keep on keepin' on as long as it feels good.

Run smart in Bend and don't overdo it just because I'll be surrounded by a bunch of fasties.Check! I really did dial it down, maybe even too much - I was totally trying to chat people up the whole time I was running the 5K! I had thought to do a long run at some point, but just did an easy 4 on the trails and it felt like the right decision. It was about enjoying the run, and we sure did.

The Women of Wonderis this weekend and I feel like this is the first race in awhile where I have some clear goals in mind. I haven't been following a specific training plan, so I'm not sure if I'm in a position to PR. But, I feel like my fitness is a lot better now than it was prior to my last 5K. So I'm gunning for a sub 26 as my A goal and, judging by last year's results, maybe even an age group placement - given that I'm oh so old.

Conversely, I decided to switch down to the 10K for the Beat the Blerch race since I'm just in it for the cake and festivities. Goal: major funning.

I think I'm just going to keep putting the run streak on my monthly goals, until I get knocked down with some awful sickness now that school has started...
